One of the biggest questions the Tennessee Titans still have to answer ahead of the 2021 campaign is: who will be the starter at right tackle?
The last we heard from head coach Mike Vrabel, he revealed that it was a three-man race between David Quessenberry, Kendall Lamm and Ty Sambrailo.
When Vrabel had his latest presser with the media on Monday, he said he wasn’t ready to name the starter just yet, which likely means this week of practices will determine who gets the nod.
Of course, it’s also possible the Titans have figured out who the starter will be, or at least have an idea and are just playing coy, but Vrabel’s comments are all we have to go on right now.

As far as the rest of the offensive line is concerned, Vrabel said he hopes to have both right guard Nate Davis and center Ben Jones back soon. The two starters are currently on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

In the preseason finale against the Chicago Bears, it was Quessenberry who started at right tackle, with Lamm and Sambrailo coming in later on. Lamm played at right tackle, while Sambrailo was deployed on the left side.
The Titans have less than one week to make their decision, as the regular-season opener will take place on Sept. 12 at Nissan Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals.
